Frank Ragnow’s abrupt retirement in June left the Detroit Lions without a starting center.
His successor, Graham Glasgow, is on track to start the team’s Week 1 matchup versus the Green Bay Packers on Sunday after missing time during training camp with a lower leg injury, head coach Dan Campbell told reporters on Tuesday.
Glasgow, 33, is in his second stint with the Lions after they selected him in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft. He spent 2020-2022 with the Denver Broncos before rejoining Detroit in 2023.
He is moving over from the left guard spot, where he predominantly played last season. He did start one game at center for the Lions in 2024.
Glasgow has big shoes to fill in replacing Ragnow, who retired after just seven seasons due to citing he needed to prioritize his health and his family’s future. He made four Pro Bowls and was a three-time second-team All-Pro center.
